Guides · December
One month, one champion.
Updated · by the 9Daily team, Berlin
December is long for golfers: short days, wet courses, the season over. A 9Daily league turns it into a month-long challenge for your group, with a new nine-hole course every morning and a champion every week.
How does a December challenge work in 9Daily?
-
Start the league
Create a new 9Daily league in the week of 30 November and name it, for example “December Cup”. A league needs a free account.
-
Share the link
Send the link to your golf group, club or office. Anyone with it can join, up to 50 players.
-
Play every day
Everyone plays the day’s nine holes. One round a day counts, and the new course arrives at midnight local time.
-
Count the titles
Every Monday the league crowns last week’s champion, and the league history counts the titles.
Who wins a 9Daily league week?
Every day in a 9Daily league goes to the fewest strokes on today’s course. The week, Monday to Sunday, goes to whoever wins the most days; a shared day counts for both, and on a tie the better average decides.
Example
- 1 AnnaLeague champion 4
- 2 Ben 2
- 3 Clara 2
- 4 DavidWooden spoon 0
Tip: Play first, then look: 9Daily shows the others’ scores only after your own round, so nobody gets the course spoiled.
How does the group find its December champion?
9Daily counts days and weeks, not months. A league started in the week of 30 November has only December weeks in its league history: five in 2026, and the last one, between Christmas and New Year, is the final.
On Monday 4 January, after the final, Most titles in the league history names the December champion. A shared count is a shared title.
Why is December a good month for a 9Daily challenge?
In December most golf groups play less: short days, closed or wet courses, the season over. 9Daily keeps the group playing for a few minutes a day, and every course has its own character, from links to woods: course types in 9Daily.
